| Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
|
| With her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the
|
| place
|
| Then she told me that she loved me and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said
|
| I know
|
| Lets get from here now darlin' if we’re goin' lets go on and go
|
| Well Lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like
|
| they do
|
| But your daddy don’t think I’m fit to sit in the same room with you
|
| And if I ever set foot in Sevier County well your brother said he’d break my jaw
|
| Here I stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest Arkansas
|
| And I’ve been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
|
| It’s just a part of life for you and me
|
| And I’ve been livin' with the loneliness, it’s got down in my bones I guess
|
| It’s just another phase of being free
|
| And I’ve been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
|
| Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
|
| Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
|
| Well De Queen’s dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
|
| Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes
|
| And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose
|
| You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
|
| And I’ve been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
|
| It’s just a part of life for you and me
|
| And I’ve been livin' with the loneliness, it’s got down in my bones I guess
|
| It’s just another phase of being free
|
| And I’ve been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
|
| Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
|
| Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
|
| Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
|
| You ain’t half of who I thought you was and this ain’t fun no more
|
| And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light
|
| Well I’ve had all I can handle, hope you’re happy now, goodnight
|
| Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right
|
| Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
|
| Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong |
